My absolute favorite food in the whole world. If I had to choose one dish to eat for the rest of my life, this would be it! No brainer! Sometimes, Thai restaurants don’t even have this on their menu, so this is what I do. “Can I have fried rice with shrimp? A fried egg on top. Spicy fish sauce on the side, please.” Surprisingly, every single Thai restaurant brings out exactly the same thing. I’ve never failed with this one.

-Behind story on this: I was in Thailand in 2011. I ended up walking into a very “not super clean” marketplace and no one there spoke English. I was dying of hunger so I just pointed at some food this guy was eating. This was it. I fell in love right away!

Please share the recipe if you know the secret!
